What happens to your athletes when the sport stops?
BruntX works with clubs and national governing bodies to build career readiness into the athlete journey, not bolted on after retirement, deselection or injury.
Player welfare doesn't stop at performance, and neither should the support.
Duty of care
Clubs and governing bodies carry growing responsibility for athlete welfare beyond performance. What happens after sport is increasingly part of that conversation, not separate from it.
Retention and reputation
Athletes, and increasingly their families and agents, weigh how a club supports life beyond the sport when deciding where to commit. Visible, structured support is a differentiator, not just a cost.
Transition risk
Deselection, injury and retirement are often abrupt, not planned. Athletes who built their entire identity and routine around sport are better served by readiness built in advance, not support assembled after the fact.
We don't have a fixed package for clubs yet, by design.
What's worked with university cohorts gives a strong starting shape, but this gets scoped to your squad, academy or membership rather than sold as one fixed product.
- 01
Career readiness sessions integrated into existing training or welfare schedules, not an extra commitment competing with them.
- 02
Athletes can build a BruntX profile at no extra cost to them.
- 03
For a structured cohort: live sessions, facilitator-reviewed evidence, and introductions where they are relevant.
- 04
Designed to work alongside your existing player welfare, union or clinical support. BruntX builds career readiness, it doesn't replace welfare or clinical provision.
Provisional starting point. Scoped in conversation, not pre-packaged.
Four steps, starting with a conversation, not a contract.
Conversation
Understand what you already offer around player welfare and transition, and where the actual gaps are.
Co-design
Shape a programme scoped to your squad, academy or membership specifically.
Pilot
Run a first cohort, measured the same way as the university pathway: baseline and endline readiness.
Scale
Expand based on what's actually working, not a fixed roadmap set before session one.
A managed view of the athletes in your programme.
This is an illustrative private-beta preview. Sports organisations see their own cohort. Employers are introduced by BruntX, with athlete consent — they do not browse every athlete on the platform.

Scoped with you. Built by someone who's been on your side of this.
First club and university programmes are co-designed around a defined athlete group, then run as a pilot — not sold as a finished package.
The same model as the rest of this page: conversation, co-design, pilot, then scale only if it is working.
- Starting shape comes from university cohort work already underway.
- Club programmes are scoped to the squad, academy or membership — not copied off the shelf.
